Hey Y'all, How are you today? The weather is lovely her in Va. today. Lee is doing well and I am home sick with tonsillitis. 40 years old and have a kids ailment...sheesh. Oh well, life goes on. I just have to stay home and on antibiotics 24 hours then I can go back to work...yipee (insert sarcasm) I just need to be all better by Thursday. Beth and I have a funny costume all set for Halloween. I am looking forward to it too. Do you dress up?  I haven't  in years. I did find a couple photos from when I was a kid. What was your favorite costume ever? I think mine was a clown costume my Mom and Aunt Bonnie made. When I think of all the years and all the different costumes, this is the one that always springs to mind.                                                     Halloween 1982 The costume was hand made every bit. My wig was yarn,...

Where does the time go? This is honestly the first time in almost 3 months I have even opened my laptop! YIKES! I feel so neglectful of all my friends blogs as well as my own. Please forgive me. we have had quite a bit going on here at home, I won't bore you with the mundane details, you all know how it is. Work has been a bit crazy for me this past month, but hopefully I can make it to January and then I can relax. CHRISTMAS is just around the corner again already, can you believe it and Thanksgiving being so late in the month this year is going to make the Christmas season fly by in a flash. Ok enough with all that I have to tell y'all something very important...SHE'S HERE!!! My Dew Drop arrived on Oct.4th after putting her amazing mama through 39 yes you read it correctly 39 hours of labor! I'll just share a few photos now, and I'll save more for later; and I promise to be by each of your blogs to catch up very soon. The most beautiful baby! Darby Eliz...

Y'ALL How am I gonna give up all my sweets...lol I am a sweets addict, I can give up chips and yes even ... (some) pasta and I ADORE Italian food as well. But sweets are my Achilles heel. Prayers...y'all lots of prayers. Onto my sweet friends, Trisha at Glass Slippers and All Sorts of Stuff won my Yankee Candle give away, and she sent me this sweet and festive banner I LOVE IT! I have had it up for the entire month of July. It was such a sweet surprise. Thank You again Trisha. Love you bunches :) Then in the mail I got this perfect for me bookmark from  Ashley who was my blogging secret sister last year. Sorry for the sideways photo, I flipped it about 15 times and it keeps flipping back. Oh well...lol we all know I am not a photographer ;) Thank you Trisha and Ashley for thinking of me. ...
